Tealight candles are small candles that come in metal or plastic casings which enclose the wax as the candle burns.
They are 1inch in diameter by half and inch height.
Tealights are very popular with candle lovers because they create a lovely eclectic ambience.
Tealights are burnt inside a candle holder, and these candle holders come in a wide range of styles and shapes.
These days unscented tealights are most often used to melt wax melts [in an oil burner], or in a candle holder for accent lighting and a decorative effect. They can aso be scented thus giving an interesting aroma therapy experience when they are burnt.
Most tealight candles burn for three to five hours, depending on the quality of the wax and wick and their size.
